Hi Ho, Hi Ho, It's Off to Work We Go...

Well today certainly dived into second quad scheduling for me...finishing up my Nazi Germany paper on Stanley Milgram (such fun!), applying for financial aid (hope I get some), and settling into a rehearsal schedule (theatre love!). Oh!!! And I got a call from National History Day in response to an internship application I'd sent in. They choose two interns to live in Washington, D.C. for a month and work for the organization--and I'm a finalist!!! Unfortunately this means I'm getting up at 7:30 a.m. tomorrow for a phone interview *bleagh* but it should be a jolly good time, what? I'll let you know what happens :)

Happy Sunday! I'm listening to my iPod on shuffle, and man! It's a good shuffle! I am also waiting for the rooms to get back so we can go down to brunch! Brunch on our campus is the best meal of the week. Students actually feel bad missing it. It's delicious. :)

So, how about these dresses, huh? I know, I know...pretty great :)
During spring break I was able to hang out with my dear Grandma (one of the best looking 80 year olds around. Do not even get me started...this woman still gets her hair highlighted! ). While visiting her, I asked if I could take a peek in one of her many closets. She told me to go crazy and let me tell you...I was like a kid in a candy store. She has never gotten rid of ANYTHING. And everything in there had a story, it was like I was taking a step back in time. I was giddy. AND AND AND!!! She let me take what I wanted. AH!!! :) yes, I do know how lucky I am :)
So, these two little gems are probably my two favorite and the two that I will probably wear the most (after a good dry-cleaning and a couple alterations).
Here they are, time for brunch!!! :)

See ya tomorrow!

Not sure why I love this place so much..

So, it's Saturday morning and I am sitting in a Caribou near my house. This coffee shop is oozing with memories and I love and hate it. I spend the majority of my summers here whether I was working early mornings, meeting a friend or two, or just wasting time. Almost everyone I know has entered through one of the two doors and I am sure to bop into one of them, at any given time. I'm not entirely sure why it has become such a hot spot of mine. Perhaps it is the "second-home" feel of it...or maybe the 30% discount I get because I work here... but I do know that it isn't the same Caribou as two years ago... and I don't appreciate change. My life is sooo rough. :P

Last night I had a dance rehearsal that was so wonderful! Have I told you that I love to dance? It does my heart good :)
After rehearsal, a dear friend joined me for a Rogers and Hammerstein flick (Carousel to be exact!) and it was most enjoyable... :)
And now I am off to get my haircut fixed... here's hoping it goes better than last week!!
I love this outfit and it's 70's vibe... I'm not actually wearing it today though... it's a tad too chilly for it. But I can't wait for summer to wear it (and I love yellow with a slight tan!). The one problem with summers is that I don't share a closet with Cambria and my wardrobe is downsized slightly...
Which is most unfortunate.
Anyways,

Ta Ta for now!
Love
Jess

Sunshine, gives me a lovely day...

Hello Hello!
Today was nice and sunny so we thought we would try our hand at outdoor shots. We need to experiment with lighting and location but, hey it was our first time! :) I guess I don't have anything reallllly interesting to talk about...hm. Does anybody besides my mom and roommates even read this thing and care about whether I have something to ramble on about?

Lucky for you- I like rambling, so here we go! :)

Today I woke while it was still dark out, went and nannied 3 adorable little rascals and then skipped my first class. I thought I would go to Byerly's to see if they had any yummy samples and maybe find something to purchase. Sampled a pasta thing and a weird horseradish pickle. Also, it was like "Senior Citizen Day" or maybe the elderly just really like to go grocery shopping during the day. So I enjoyed watched all the old folk. I bought a water bottle, Craisens, and these new Wheatables Nut Crisps with Roasted Almonds. yummmmm. I could probably eat the whole box. :)Oh! I also bought the newest edition of InStyle which has a lot of crazy stuff in it.
Then I went to class and went to check my mail box...nothing in it. People,people, people... send me some mail!!! :)
Then I came back to my room, read InStyle, made a pot of coffee, konked out on my couch before said pot of coffee was down brewing and now here I am, sitting on the couch, munching on the crackers,sipping my coffee, blogging and sort-of watching Dr. Phil (on mute.).
Whew...what a day, right?
Anyways, I love you all,
Peace,
Jess

It's Great to Stay Up Late...

It really is NOT great to stay up late, as I can attest after the past two weeks. Especially when you are staying up late and working constantly, but seem to be accomplishing nothing? How can that be? Apparently life and logic are not always reconcilable ;) Anywho, I'm up late yet again tonight and really beginning to feel the physical toll...hopefully I'll be able to catch some good winks tonight and feel better for my early breakfast tomorrow. Alas, when one is forced to be on a college meal plan, one doesn't feel the freedom to sleep in and let $10 slide by...

Wishin' and hopin' and thinkin'...

Posting quite late tonight due to the homework load and activity load of the day. I'm excited that I've finally finished my research on Stanley Milgram--the man who (literally and figuratively) shocked the world :D As much as I enjoyed researching and learning, I really hated wading through psycho-babble! So now I guess I turn my mind toward wading through excavation-babble...trying to tackle (you guessed it) another research paper. Who said English majors are the ones who learn to write?!

So, I'm wondering how one gets followers for their blog? Do we force kids to do it? Bribe them? Make false accounts and followers? I'm just wondering...
:)
This outfit was perfect for today's weather and my mood! I recently purchased this blouse from the clearance rack at Heritage 1981 and I'm a pretty big fan of it:) oh! and this skirt? It's American Eagle from Goodwill... Have I mentioned my love for a good thrifting experience? It's true. I love it :)

Okay, well...I'm off to read Kileen's paper for her and then to get some beauty sleep!
Follow us kids!! :)
Love, Jess
